Portland Press-Herald: Hallowell Crowd Applauds Mayor's Declaration Reading
Quote:
 
HALLOWELL — The first reading of Hallowell’s copy of the Declaration of Independence went off without a hitch. Mayor Mark Walker did the honors at Friday’s ceremony to open the public viewing of the city’s original 1776 printed version of the Declaration.

More than 80 people listened quietly as Walker, sporting a tricorn hat and a dark vest over a white shirt, read aloud a copy of the document. He drew a rousing round of applause at the end.

Another round of applause followed Dave Morris’ a capella rendition of “God Bless America.” Morris, who graduated in June from Hall-Dale High School, received a scholarship from the Ian Parker Foundation and will be attending Ithaca College in Ithaca, New York, according to Sandy Stubbs, president of the Hallowell Citizens Initiative Committee, which organized the event.

At 10 a.m. Saturday, the whole event will be reprised, this time with Rep. Charlotte Warren, D-Hallowell, herself a former mayor, reading the document aloud.
